Daughter's room progress & inspiration

We managed to get the wallpaper up in our daughter's room this weekend. The lamp will probably go elsewhere and the room is still looking rather grown-up, but I guess it will start looking like a child's nest once all her thing have found their place. One more layer of soap for the floor, the vent needs a cover, a few other tiny adjustments and we're done.

I love the wallpaper that you've chosen for your daughters room, I think it will serve as a nice background for whatever you decided to add later on - colourful things will stand out really well. I'd even leave the lamp. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what it will look once it's done. All the Best, Kristina

Oh, I love the wallpaper!! And what a beautiful room (I like the lamp there as well)!Most blogs show retro kid's rooms, and sometimes I feel that our daughters room should get a make over in that direction. And then I come here, and I remember why we made it the way we did. And this is so much more me, than the retro (which is nice at other people's homes)Thank you so much for always being inspiring, and I can't wait to see more of this room!KramUlrika

Kristina, Thanks so much for your comment! I was quite tempted to get some wallpaper with birds, like the Hummingbird wallpaper that's featured in one of the photos above, but in the end decided on a neutral background. I must say I think for us it was the right choice, and there's still some drama to the pattern.

Ulrika, I must say that I somehow sensed a 'kindred spirit' when I found your blog :) Retro isn't really my thing either, and sometimes it's hard not to get too distracted with all the influences that come by. In the end it's so much about personal taste, picking the bits that one likes and trusting that it will all work in the end :)

I have to say that I am such a FAN of your blog...it is one of the prettiest and loveliest! Thank you for posting beautiful things all the time...I hope someday you visit my blog,its not even half as amazing as yours but just your visit will make my day! Cheers! Farah www.2-gitanas.blogspot.com
